Teide Icod Garachico Masca

Description

Visit a more rural and authentic part of Tenerife

A day in the life of a tree.

Take a break from the modern world and experience the authentic side of Tenerife. During the tour you will discover a unique combination of natural wonders, small rural villages, exotic plants and volcanic landscapes.

Away from the bustling south of the island, you will have the opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of the modern world. Experience a tranquillity that seems to come from the distant past. A distant past that includes the impressive thousand-year-old dragon of Icod de los Vinos, which deserves respect.

Full description of the event

The tour starts with pick-up from the hotel on the day selected at the time of booking. After picking up all the participants, the bus departs to Teide National Park where you will be able to admire the pine forests, lava formations and volcanic craters typical of Tenerife.

From Teide National Park we will descend to the village of El Tanque, where we will take a break for lunch and continue to Icod de los Vinos, home to a unique specimen of a dragon tree, said to be over 1,000 years old. After saying goodbye to the ancestral dragon tree, we will head to the coastal town of Garachico, which was once the most important port on the island. Garachico is located on the site of a recent lava flow that has formed spectacular natural pools of crystal clear water.

The tour will continue with a stop in Masca, a small village nestled between steep volcanic peaks and canyons overlooking the high cliffs of Los Gigantes on the northwestern tip of the island. Masca offers cultural treasures, unique photo opportunities and rich biodiversity. A truly wonderful trip for all lovers of rural life.
